Single Bevel and large game

John Harvard, Great Pics!!!

I think I am going to do some testing with Tuffheads  and/or Ace but try some screw in Badger 150 gr. also.

The bull in my avatar was about 1200# and 53". Took it with a 54# LB and a SB Zwickey No Mercy head. Got complete penetration with that BH riding a 750 grain carbon arrow. I belive in heavy arrows for heavy game - of course the shot was 6 YARDS so trajectory wasn't an issue!!

I like Grizly!!!!

I've seen tests with double bevel heads that did the same thing as the Ashby single bevel tests- and had good bone penetration myself with double bevel.

Whatever floats your boat, just factor in that a single bevel is thinner and less supported than a double and will need to be of very good quality steel and temper so as not to roll over or dull.

There is a reason double bevel is the edge of choice for knives...and for centuries.

Good luck on your Moose hunt.
I have changed my setups to use the Tuffhead.
I have a Afica hunt in July and Moose in September.
I will be using the Tuffheads for both.

Single bevel has been good to me. Of course you need a good hit, but I have had great blood trails and short ones at that. Here is an example of single bevel blood.

Marty, very cool.  Not too many folks can take a photo of their broadhead overlaying an elephant tusk.  I love your hunt videos so thanks belatedly for sharing all those in the past and look forward to your future ones.

So many good folks had a hand in putting that arrow and head combination together , I kinda hate to call it mine but thanks for the kind words
